Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (cut-up fryer)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely diced carrots
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1 medium onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, optional
Salt, as needed

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. In 2 batches, brown the chicken on both sides and remove to a clean plate.
  • In the same pot, add the diced carrots, celery and onions. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir in the ground thyme and turmeric, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine, then add the browned chicken. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • For the dumplings: While the chicken is simmering, make the dough for the dumplings. Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl, then add 1 1/2 cups of the half-and-half, stirring gently to combine. Set aside.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate. Use 2 forks to remove the chicken from the bones. Shred the chicken, then add it back to the pot. Mix together the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and flour, then add it to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the simmering pot. Add the minced parsley if using. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Check the seasoning; add salt if needed. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup sliced carrot
3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 ½ cups frozen peas
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  • Add carrot and onion and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and stir for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter and flour, stirring constantly for 3 minutes to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Add the chicken and any accumulated juices back to the pot and stir to coat in the roux.
  • Add the chicken broth, cream, thyme, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Once soup is at a simmer, add the frozen peas, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Make the dumplings: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cream. Stir until mixture comes together into single mass of dough.
  • Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form the dough into small round balls about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) in diameter (the dough should yield 14-16 dumplings).
  • Place the dough balls in the simmering soup (making sure they don't touch), add the parsley, and cover. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
  • Ladle into bowls, giving 1-2 dumplings per serving.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS IV



Chicken and Dumplings IV image

The best dumplings are made with baking mix! I've never written down a recipe before so please use your own judgment on the thickening. My husband's mother always did the milk and flour balls in the chicken, he liked mine much better and always asks me to make it. He also loves it when I add more water and rice!

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups all-purpose baking mix
⅔ cup milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cold water

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, simmer chicken in 6 cups water until no longer pink. Remove chicken, cool and shred.
  • Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in butter, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken reaches desired tenderness, 15 to 60 minutes.

  • Drop baking mix mixture by tablespoonfuls into the boiling water, neatly around the chicken. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Then cover and cook 10 minutes more. (Sneak a spatula under the dumplings to prevent chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot.) Serve hot.

MRS. CRIBBS'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Mrs. Cribbs's Chicken and Dumplings image

This is a "simple ingredients make the best meals" dish. She uses dark meat because of their moistness and extra flavor, and the cooking methods are what makes all of them shine. The dumplings - Amish style or flat, not the rising kind - have to freeze for at least 4 hours so plan ahead. Its a great dish to get ready the day before then just put together the final cooking and serve in minutes. Its a simple dish, i only put the 45 min for prep because of the dumplings (does not include freezing time).

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs chicken legs
5 carrots (2 cut into large chunks, 3 thinly sliced on the diagonal)
2 celery ribs (1 cut into large chunks, 1 thinly sliced on the diagonal)
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
6 cups water
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the chicken legs with the large chunks of carrot and celery, half of the chopped onions and the water. Simmer over moderate heat until the chicken legs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Let cool slightly, then remove the meat from the bones and let cool. Strain the chicken broth and discard the vegetables.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour with 1 cup of the chicken broth, adding a little of the fat from the broth; stir to form a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth. Wrap the dumpling dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • 3.Cut the dough into quarters. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out the dough a scant 1/4 inch thick on a very lightly floured work surface. Cut the dough into 3-inch-wide strips and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Working on the paper, cut each strip crosswise into 1-inch-thick dumplings and transfer the paper to a baking sheet; do not separate the dumplings. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking each layer on the baking sheet. Freeze the dumplings until solid, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, combine the sliced carrots and celery and the remaining chopped onion with 4 cups of the broth and bring to a boil. Season well with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and return to a boil.
  • Separate the frozen dumplings and add them to the simmering broth a few at a time, submerging them in the broth. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook until the dumplings are tender, about 15 minutes; tuck the dumplings into the broth occasionally.
  • Spoon the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve.
  • MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate the broth and the chicken; keep the dumplings frozen.

TIM MCGRAW'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Tim Mcgraw's Chicken and Dumplings image

I was watching Oprah and they have both Tim and Faith's recipes.. Thought I would post to share! I didn't touch a thing! "Tim McGraw made his grandmother's chicken and dumplings for Faith Hill when they were dating! They go perfectly with Faith's cornbread." ---- I guessed at the cooking time -- I will correct asap!---- *** In response to Chef #294686 -- I apologize if there is a mix up. I copied and pasted this recipe as soon as the show aired. They edited the ingredients. It is From the Oprah Show -- I swear it :O) I have updated the ingredients... (Feb.20.06)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small chicken
water
1 pinch salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons Butter Flavor Crisco
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Boil chicken, adding salt to taste. When tender, pull chicken from the bone and return to the broth.
  • Pour flour into a bowl - cut the crisco into the flour until crumbly. Arrange flour mixture in the bowl evenly leaving a hole in the middle. Add 1 egg and enough buttermilk to form a doughy consistency (similar to how you would make biscuits).
  • Sprinkle flour on cutting board. Pinch off part of the dough and roll into a thin sheet and cut into squares.
  • Drop one square at a time into broth. Continue this until all of the dough is used. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer until tender.
  • Allow the dumplings to thicken the broth until it is a creamy consistency.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the dumplings from sticking.
  • Bring the broth to a boil before adding the dumplings: This will help to create a more flavorful broth and prevent the dumplings from becoming soggy.
  • Drop the dumplings into the broth one at a time: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through: This will typically take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken and dumplings immediately: This is when they are at their best.

Conclusion:

Mrs. Cribb's Chicken and Dumplings is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. The dumplings are light and fluffy, and the chicken is tender and flavorful. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice touch of color and flavor. This dish is perfect for a cold winter day, or any day that you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal.
